Our Wealthy Men.

Much has been said in newspa-
pers Of men who have made large
fortunes in comparatively few
years in various business industries.
Many Of these articles are written
by correspondents of prominent
newspapers, and copied into others
of less note. Correspondents gen
orally are seldom men Of business
qualifications and wrongfully plct-
ure these men and their business as
a thing Of accident; this is not the
case with those we have met. We
find that where nen have made
large fortunes by their own business
talent and industry they close with
sagacity and forethought such bus
inesses as would lead to success
when handled with bushes Judge
ment. No man has been brought
before the public as an example of
success, both in wealth and magni-
tude of his busines, (outside of
stock and railroad men), more
promptly than DR.. G.. G. Groen of
Woodbury., N. J. He is at the head
of many large business industries
and yet comparatively young man.
When the fact that August Flower
for dyspepsia and liver complaint,
and Boschee's German Syrup for
coughs and lung troubles, has grown
to a wonderful sale in ell parts of
the world, it proves that it was not
an accident or spontaneous strike
at wealth. His medicines are rec
ognized as valuable and established
remedies and the business has
grown gradually and permanently
for the last eighteen years on ac-
count not alone on DR.. Green's abil-
tiles as business man or his "good
luck" but on the actual merits Of
the two preparations N. Y. Sun.

Senator Tabor, of Colorado, has

The Pueblo Smelling and Rein
ing company has been making ex-
tensive Improvements in its plant
at Pueblo, and will start again full
handed at once. 1t is expected the
process for the treatment of low
grade copper ores will be in opera
tion.-[Denver Journal of Com
merce.
There is no denying the fact that
mining in Aspen has been very
slow the past winter, and it is true
the camp has experienced its dull
est period. Mining has taken q
new start, and the month Of April
records seventy-6ye more miners
at work than at any time since last
fall.-[Sun.
It is little early for predictions,
but we venture the estimate that
Colorado will contribute about
$50. 100000 to the worlds stock Of
gold, silver, lead and copper dur
ing 1887. The actual value for
1886 was little less than $25.000.-
900, calculating the average price Of
silver at S1.O0 per ounce.-[Denver

A rich strike is reported to have
been made in the Visino tunnel at
Aspen. The property is leased by
Capt. q. w. Thatcher and Chas. A.
Allen, of the Durant Company, and
the tunnel is being run into the
Aspen ground. The body of
ore struck is eight feet thick and
they are sacking large quantities of
rich ore.
The shaft of American Tin Min
ing Co., Dakota, has been sunk to
depth Of nearly 40 feet. Day
and night shifts are employed,
and sinking is being carried on as
rapidly as present facilities will ad-
NIT. Ore now being taken out is
considered best ever found, and as
says much higher than that Of Corn

peated tests rock carries 10 per cont.
